Please note i have not finished uploading images to my site yet, and finalised contact information.

Beauty/Hair

Ok.

So i have decided to go into something a little out of the box for me, usually i like to keep to photographing my little objects in the studio, which are nice and easy (usually!), and don't move, they do what they want you to do (sometimes they dont!). I have chosen photographing models focusing on Hair, and/or Makeup. Photographing models in this fashionista high quality scene is not my ideal comfort zone, however wanting to make a future for myself in the advertising commercial industry i am finding it more common that models feature in any sort of advertisement.

So... 4 shoots completed in only 1 week! WHATTTT!? who would have thought i had so much hair left compared to all that ive pulled out... (joking!), but this has been a stressful 2 weeks during the holidays preparing myself for these shoots. i will soon post some photographs which are "inspirations" for my folio. Although i do have to give much thanks to Tina for showing me that fashion photography is not just the clothes.

So... that being said, i think i will need to focus more on lighting techniques, as i don't want them all to have a uniform look in terms of lighting. Perhaps some on scene observing Lam and Tina will help me with more ideas.

Business Cards

These are my business cards, front and back. The photos on the backside will possibly change, and more information to fill in, email and website.

This is a second alternative to the back...To keep Tina happy hahaha

More shoots...

Ok, been a couple weeks since last post, but i have been sitting in front of the computer for hours and hours!!!
Finally, i have finished pretty much every bottle, all 5 of them.

The following bottles i am having different opinions on which image i preferred. The actual bottle had the graphic design on the back of the bottle, but it distorted heavily when trying to photograph the front, with the design still perfect.

So i took off the design, perfected the bottle, and used the design as either a background, or have it on a low transparency behind the bottle's label, which it's supposed to be anyway. One of the bottles have been composed differently as well, a bit of an overlap between glass/bottle.

These photos arent quite finished, as the Gin bottle still needs more editing, (water ripple coming from underneath), and the Absolute bottle needs its label put back on.

hmm

Black or White?

just a quick throw together to see which would work best, black or white..
